Attend a LEAD Training

The LEAD Program offers interactive workshops that build leadership skills, promote student wellness, raise awareness about sexual violence, and empower participants to safely intervene in challenging situations.

Take the LEAD

Taking the LEAD means stepping up to create a culture of respect, where we actively work to prevent sexual violence and foster a safe, supportive campus community for everyone.

Students

• Request a LEAD Workshop for your class, organization, or group to learn about preventing sexual violence and building healthy relationships.
• Follow LEAD at Jacksonville University on social media to stay informed and engaged.
• Share LEAD materials in your residence hall, classroom, or campus spaces to raise awareness.
• Encourage your friends to participate in LEAD workshops and discuss the importance of preventing sexual violence and fostering a respectful community
• If you’re concerned that a friend may have experienced or is experiencing sexual violence, check in with them. Let them know you’re there to support them and help connect them to our hotline where we can assist them as a confidential resource: Telephone (904) 721 7273
• Stand up for a safer campus by believing that sexual violence is unacceptable and making your voice heard in your community.
